Next summer, you can relax in traditional French chic at Club Med Exclusive Collection's new luxury resort, Club Med Cefalu, in sunny Sicily. Opening its doors on June 10, 2018, it will offer guests impeccable service, including private transfers, Concierge services, breakfast in the room.
Club Med, a leader in premium all-inclusive vacations, has chosen a stunning location for its new resort—the Mediterranean Sea, majestic cliffs, and incredible natural beauty of Sicily. It is the only island in the world home to so many UNESCO World Heritage sites (Mount Etna, the Cathedral of Cefalù, almond fields, and vineyards).
The new Club Med Cefalu offers guests signature premium hospitality, updated room classifications (Club rooms become Superior Club), and a new deluxe accommodation category, Villeta. The designers' primary goal was to integrate the resort's buildings into the local landscape, which features preserved historic structures such as the chapel and palazzo. The Baroque style and use of minerals allowed for a contrast between this authentic corner of Sicily's natural setting and the island's refined art de vivre (art of living) à la Italiana. King Roselli, a renowned Italian hotel architect, worked on the resort's design. The interiors were designed by Frenchwoman Sophie Jacquemin. She has previously worked on Club Med design projects, including the Club Med Val Thorens Sensations ski resort.
Despite the classic decor, the resort's rooms boast state-of-the-art technology to make your stay as comfortable as possible. For example, guests can check in remotely using their mobile phone. The resort itself is perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. The stunning atmosphere makes Club Med Cefalu an ideal getaway for couples and groups of friends; children over 8 are welcome.
What makes the company's resorts so beloved by travelers around the world? First and foremost, for their action-packed vacations, meticulously planned down to the last detail. Incredible natural beauty and enchanting views inspire an active lifestyle: paddleboarding, kite surfing, aqua aerobics, kayaking, sailing, archery, tennis, and hiking. A team of professionals—GO (from the French gentils organisateurs—"caring organizers")—will help you master the activities from scratch. The resort will also introduce a new feature: electric surfing, and the first paddleboarding school in Europe—the Stand Up Paddle Academy! Paddleboarding will be available in two styles: SUP Classic and SUP Yoga. There's even an XXL board—a board for 8 people. And all this is included in the price!
To make diving into the Mediterranean even more comfortable, guests have access to a special wooden deck that blends in with the surrounding cliffs and appears as a continuation of the cliff itself. Did you get your workout in? Pamper yourself with a massage at the CARITA spa or relax in the special Zen Natural Pool area.
At the resort, guests have plenty of opportunities not only to relax but also to experience the beautiful island and its vibrant Italian culture. Options include: excursions around Palermo on an Ape Calessino tricycle, a tour in the footsteps of the Sicilian mafia in a Fiat 500, a local wine tasting—and they're wonderful here—a helicopter tour over the Aeolian Islands, and many other equally exciting options.
Countless entertainment options and exquisite cuisine make Club Med Cefalu a true epicurean paradise. Guests will enjoy a special menu developed by Michelin-starred Italian chef Andrea Berton. All three restaurants and four bars at the resort will surprise and delight with haute cuisine and impeccable service. Just imagine: dining at La Rocca with a stunning view of the Gulf of Cefalu, followed by a warm Italian night with a glass of wine and traditional delicacies at the bar. In the late afternoon, enjoy Italian-style pool parties and live music. The resort also offers the option of organizing a dinner for two. You can experience all the delights of premium service at one of the resort's finest locations: the seafront Cala Luna Restaurant. For those who prefer a healthy lifestyle, the resort offers a bar with vegetable cocktails and vitamin-rich smoothies, and a gluten-free menu is also available.
In 2016, Cefalù won the Travel+Leisure World's Best award as the best destination. Soon, you too will be able to enjoy the island in all its splendor at the new Club Med Cefalù resort.
